Discussion

• Your example Zeitschrift für wissenschaftliche Mikroskopie und mikroskopische Technik (Q27713953) is referring to editions and not the general journal, please fix this. Germartin1 (talk) 19:39, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

 Done, using another dissertation as example. Note that IndexCat is about printed editions, stating properties such as place of publication (P291) or number of pages (P1104). --Sascha (talk) 07:18, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
